Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?
actually a coworker of mine said something interesting about this. I was saying that I truly can’t help how easily I cry, and I hate when people assume I do it on purpose.
and he paused for a second and then said, “when you’ve been taught from a young age that crying is weak and you should train yourself never to cry for any reason, you assume that everyone else has trained themselves too, so anyone who cries has to be doing it on purpose. it took me a long time to realize that wasn’t true.”
listen we’re never gonna run out of ways the patriarchy hurts all of us.
Saw a post about how halal and kosher meat will likely be the only reliably safe options in the US because their safety and cleanliness standards aren’t dictated by what’s the barest legal minimum that government food safety regulations demand.
So you’re like 5 years away from “ever notice how the musulmans and jews never get sick from bad meat? clearly this is proof that they are poisoning us” right now.
For those of you who don’t know, Jewish people had fewer fatalities during the Black Death because they practiced better hygiene than Christians. In response, a number of Christians began to speculate and assert that Jews were actually spreading the disease by poisoning wells, which led to violence committed against Jews. The Wikipedia page on the persecution of Jews during the Black Death has more information on this. If you see this old conspiracy theory pop up in a new form like this, do not fall for it.
It’s still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with “If I had a nickel for everytime […]”, odds are their brain auto fills with “I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice,” rather than “I’d be rich,” or “I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]”. Y'know, what the idiom originally was
had to show you guys. he looks so unbelievably bad. for context he always gets shit crusted in his fur because he doesn’t maintain it so my mom decided to give him a haircut and wanted to even it out
